Russia’s energy resources are enormous and Europe’s dependence on them is deep and pervasive. But Russia’s importance as an exporter of natural resources goes far beyond hydrocarbons. The continent was mostly powered by locally mined coal until the 1950s, when imports of cheap Middle Eastern oil started transforming the energy picture.

Making hydrocarbons out of CO 2 must overcome two challenges—chemical stability of the CO 2 molecule and a cheap and renewable hydrogen source. Proposed carbon capture and utilization (CCU) system based on catalytic CO 2 conversion to liquid hydrocarbon fuels with hydrogen supplied from solar water splitting. Source: Choi et al.

Coal-fired power plants currently generate approximately 50% of the electricity in the United States. While coal is a cheap and abundant resource, the continued reliance upon coal as an energy source could potentially have serious consequences in terms of global warming.

For systems incorporating high levels of wind power, ramping natural gas combustion turbine plants in response to changes in output from variable resources has typically provided this flexibility. We need to keep in mind that fossil fuel plants are typically cheap to operate, so reducing cost can sometimes result in increased emissions.

The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. Aren’t we just exchanging one nonrenewable resource for another? Are we going to burn more oil, natural gas, or (gasp) coal to produce it?

I also think it will be cheap, which is why I think someone will buy the group. Sorry, but electrics and electric power plants are so efficient that CO2 emissions are less than gassers even when the electricity comes from coal - and a lot of electricity doesnt come from coal. Or maybe just snap up the engineers.

How does the US deal with local and state economies with high carbon economies and little renewable resources? In general, the sponsor’s goal is to use as much cheap debt financing and as little equity as possible to complete the deal. Or is it alive but too expensive and if so, what is the more affordable replacement?

Furthermore, changing the battery pack on say a Toyota Prius often costs a fortune, at least in most European countries, so such cars better be VERY cheap, but they’re not. Even if you charge your EV with electricity made from coal fired generators you reduce your car’s pollution by half. Follow the money.
